What if I don’t want my child to have a smart card?

You can opt-out of the program with this Opt-Out Form in English or Spanish.  Just complete the bottom and return to your child’s school.

What information does the school share to get my child a smart card?

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) allows only directory information to be shared. This includes only the student’s name, address, telephone, date of birth, and school name. Your child’s school will not have access to your child’s library record. Your child’s library record is fully confidential as required by state law.

My child has a library card. How is the smart card different?

This card is a virtual card for students that uses their Student ID number to facilitate access through the school portal or from home. A physical card will not be issued.
